U.S. House approves rules for second Trump impeachment debate

The U.S. House of Representatives was poised to begin debating the second impeachment of Republican President Donald Trump on Wednesday, after the chamber's rules committee set the parameters for the debate and subsequent vote during a hearing late on Tuesday.

The move will make Trump the first U.S. president in history to be impeached twice. Trump was first impeached forcoercing Ukraine to provide damaging narratives that would have aided him politically, over a year ago.
